5. North Carolina Tar Heels

Previous Ranking: 9

Record: 21-4 (9-2 ACC)

UNC took down Pitt and Notre Dame last week to stay alone atop the ACC. The first game of the huge Tobacco Road Showdown comes Thursday when the team visits Duke in Durham.

Justin Jackson had 16 to lead the Tar Heels over the Irish. The other four starters and freshman Tony Bradley also scored in double-figures. I like North Carolina’s shot to run the table and get a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.
